I love your list! I have met Hilary Clinton, but not Barack Obama on your list. Although, I saw both in person at a presidential debate, so maybe I will count that as close enough. 😉
That would be a dream for me!!
Chelley @ A is for Adelaide recently posted…My Mother-in-Law, #52WeeksA4A

Spending Christmas in NYC would be amazing. I would love to spend it in Disneyland!
I want to experience the snow and tree and ice skating… like the movies… only without leaving my kid alone in a hotel (Home Alone II), or losing the love of my life and being reconnected years later (Serendipity).
